Duration of glucose-lowering medication

As we all know, diet control is very important for diabetic patients, because eating will lead to an increase in blood glucose, and it is precisely for this reason that oral hypoglycemic drugs also have a close correlation with diet, that is to say, hypoglycemic drugs are mostly linked to eating, which is a basic principle. However, it should be noted that the time for taking various types of hypoglycemic drugs is different, and if the drugs are not taken according to the time requirements, not only can they not effectively reduce sugar, but also serious hypoglycemia can occur. Now on the commonly used oral hypoglycemic drugs time to take attention is briefly described below for reference: 1, acarbose, this drug commonly used in Germany’s bactrim and domestic carboplatin, can slow down the absorption of food by slowing down the breakdown of sugar nutrition, required to take with the first meal at the same time. If the drug is not taken on time, it will not achieve the effect of lowering sugar, but there is no other harm. Similar drugs such as voglibose and miglitol dosing time is also the same.  2, Repaglinide, this drug is commonly used in Denmark’s Novolac and domestic Vulaidi, can simulate the human physiology of the effect of insulin secretion after a meal, so as to lower the meal time blood sugar, also known as meal time blood sugar regulator. As insulin secretion occurs within 30 minutes after taking the drug, this drug is required to be taken within 15 minutes before meals, and if you take it early or do not eat on time or forget to eat after taking the drug, you will be prone to hypoglycemia, and sugar lovers should keep in mind. Similarly, nateglinide is required to be taken within 10 minutes before a meal because it works more rapidly.  3, glimepiride, this drug is commonly used is France Sanofi – Aventis production of Amoxicillin, is a long-acting hypoglycemic drugs to promote insulin secretion, oral once, the effect of the drug up to 24 hours, required to take with breakfast at the same time, if not eat breakfast with Chinese food at the same time.  4, metformin, this drug is commonly used in the United States and Shanghai Schweppes production of Gevalt, can promote the body’s use of glucose, reduce the output of liver sugar, and suppress appetite, has the effect of weight loss and increase insulin sensitivity, especially for obese diabetic patients. Because of its stimulating effect on the stomach, it is best to take it with meals to reduce side effects.  5, sitagliptin, similar drugs and saxagliptin, vincristine, such drugs can reduce the degradation of enteric insulin, but highly simulate the normal human insulin response to blood sugar, also known as DPP-4 inhibitors. They do not increase insulin secretion during normal blood glucose or low blood glucose. There is no correlation between the administration of these drugs and food intake. It is taken once a day and does not cause hypoglycemia when taken on an empty stomach.  6, pioglitazone, the drug by increasing insulin sensitivity to play a role in lowering sugar, so also known as insulin sensitizer, while lowering blood lipids, not to increase weight, so it is particularly suitable for obese, insulin-resistant diabetic patients with high insulin levels. It should be taken once a day without food.
